We could take that to Madrid and come away with Marcelo, Coentrao or Di Maria probably.

30M might even be good enough for something like Coentrao + Diamanti.
It would probably be enough for Coentrao + Diamanti, though why we should sign Diamanti I don't know. Or even Coentrao, now that we have Ogbonna, who can also play at the wing. Marcelo, though, might be even more expensive. He's only 25 and is probably the best left fullback in the continent.

I'd rather see another forward probably. Or someone like Di Maria like you mention.

Personally, I'd go straight for Di Maria with 30M.

Reus would be awesome, but since Gotze is gone, they won't sell any more important players this window.

Lewandowski tried his hardest and they still denied him an exit.Di Maria would be good, assuming Real would want to get rid of him though that's not that sure of a situation.

Sanchez is overrated shit, even in his youtube videos that are supposed to highlight his best qualities, he doesn't look like anything special, other than his ability to dive and run.

I honestly think spending more than 25 million on a left back is a waste since we are covered on that flank, Asamoah and Peluso will do well over there and even Ogbonna can play over there if needed.

I would either get Jojo or just save the cash for next season.

Definitely save the cash.

I know that some people think 30M for Jovetic is idiotic (I'm not one of them; I was always pretty sure Fiorentina wouldn't really budge from their valuation given what happened last summer, and if we hadn't run into a phenomenal - and RARE - type of deal for Tevez I'd still be calling for us to overpay by 5M for a guy like Jovetic), but 20M+ for Coentrao would be a much riskier move, in my opinion. A move for Di Maria, at 30M+ (and I do think it would be plus, if they made him available), when our base formation is a 3-5-2... yeah, that doesn't make a ton of sense to me unless Conte is intent on rejigging things substantially - which he really doesn't seem to be at this point, based on our moves this window.

Too bad about Jovetic, he would have been a great addition to the club, but I am still amped for this coming season; our club is looking solid!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rollie again.

Keepin' it real again bro. Perfectly said. Our squad is basically complete, cannot wait to see us in action again.

offensively he is ofcoarse much better. Defensively however, Asamoah is levels above him. Coentrao never really impressed me with Madrid... he is brilliant with his national team though.

I'd say save the money for next summer or at least next winter.. there might be a lot of discontented good players on the market from the ultra wealthy teams.

Oh how it would be hilarious to piss off Fiorentina more by staying one more season, and walking to The Turin Giants for free. Though then Marotta eyes will
Open up as he awakes next morning.

BTW Off Topic post above
